sweet geometry for jumping
badass looking
good standover clearance
KHS are good folk to deal with
| | Weaknesses: | no real weaknesses...if you like to XC it lives up to it's name, but it's not an XC bike(obviously). cracked mine, but i seem to be a bit tougher on my gear than most. der.hanger is flimsy and loves to break. The paint chips easily, but you really shouldn't be concerned with a perfect finish if you're riding something that was made to be thrashed. Oh yeah, and they stopped making it. | | Similar Products Used: | gt avalanche(lasted longer than anything i've owned), RM-DH team, K2 flyin monkey, khs/free agent rigid one, soon to be a .243... | | Bike Setup: | big and evil | | Bottom Line: | sweet bike for the big air idiot
KHS' customer service is always a plus, too

$880.00 | | Purchased At: | adrenaline | | Strengths: | Geometry is nuts on and makes for effortless gappies. I'm 5'11" and loving the slack angle stance for aggresive blasts of dual slalom and dirt jumping bliss. | | Weaknesses: | shifters ofcourse, I hope to replace these first | | Similar Products Used: | big hit, | | Bike Setup: | stock: sun ditch witch rims, truvative cranks w/ spline, powertools stem/bar, "decent" stock setup really | | Bottom Line: | When I purchased my bike it had to be ordered by the bike shop and I was told there is now 1 left in the So. California KHS headquarters waiting for a home as of late Dec. Its a sweet bike especially at that 800 pricetag. It is undecided whether it will still be offered as a frame-only for 2003.Too bad this bike is possibly going to be out of production, it's such a great bike. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
